It is important that landowners cut back their hedges and trees back to the boundary of the highway.

Reporting a problem with a hedge……….

Hitting your head on overhanging branches or walking into overgrown hedges is a huge problem for blind and partially sighted pedestrians, especially during the summer months.

You can report an overgrown hedge or an overhanging tree on private land online.

If it endangers or obstructs road and pavement users, we will contact the owner requesting that they cut it back.

If the overgrown tree or hedge is not cut back by the owner within our timescales, we may also serve them with a notice to do the work under Section 154 of the Highways Act 1980.

In some rare cases, if cutting back private hedges would disturb wild birds, we may allow the owners to delay the work until the bird nesting season is over.

Modern slavery is happening in our communities, in plain sight, and is deeply intertwined with our lives, without us realising it. All across the world people are coerced and forced into exploitative situations which they can’t refuse or leave. We may be interacting with, buying products from and/or receiving services from victims, without realising. We don’t know the hidden cost of their suffering.

Parents! This post is for you

Teaching your child what to do if they get into trouble in the water could save their life one day. 

FLOAT TO LIVE

Float on your back in the water like a starfish. Tilt your head back until your ears are submerged, relax and gently move your hands to help you float. Once calm, call for help or try to swim to safety.

Practice this with your child next time you are in a swimming pool! Practice this regularly so that should they ever need it they know what to do.
